Derivatives of a volume integral with singular kernel

Submitted by TO Quy Dong on

Hi everybody, 

In fact, I encounter this problem in my research and I would be grateful if someone can help. In micro mechanics, there are many problems concerning Green functions, e.g: the displacement is calculated from the distributed force in the domain, etc. Consider the following integral to determine the displacement field.

New Micromechanics Book

Submitted by MichelleLOyen on

This message about a new book came over the PoroNet (poroelasticity network) mailing list:

Dear Colleagues:

      I would like to inform you that my book "Micromechanics of Heterogeneous Materials” (containing around 700 pages, 140 figures, 3000 formulae, and 1200 references) should be published by Springer on 07.06.07. [Details are on the web http://www.springer.com/west/home/engineering?SGWID=4-175-22-173670290-… ] .

      In the framework of a unique scheme of the proposed multiparticle effective field method, we have undertaken in this book an attempt to analyze the wide class of statical and dynamical, local and nonlocal, linear and nonlinear multiscale problems of composite materials with deterministic (periodic and nonperiodic), random (statistically homogeneous and inhomogeneous, so-called graded) and mixed (periodic structures with random imperfections) structures in bounded and unbounded domains, containing coated or uncoated inclusions of any shape and orientation and subjected to coupled or uncoupled, homogeneous or inhomogeneous external fields of different physical natures.

        Any the remarks and comments regarding the book will be fully appreciated.

Submitted by Bent F. Sørensen on

The 28th Risø International Symposium on Materials Science addresses the whole range from fundamental understanding to industrial applications. Topics include:

  • surface functionalising
  • chemical and physical surface characterisation
  • mechanical characterisation of interfaces
  • micromechanical modelling
  • fibre/matrix debonding
  • sizings effects on composite processing
  • interface aspects and their integration into manufacturing
  • fibre bridging in composites
  • fracture resistance of composite
  • tensile and compressive strength of composite
  • macroscale modelling
  • hole and notch sensitivity
